Chapter 186: Picking Up the Bride
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“We’re here to pick up the bride!”
Firecrackers were set off outside the courtyard. Song Yao was carried into the wedding car by Zuo Huo and drove to the best Dahe Hotel in the county.
Today was Song Yao’s big day. Gu Li had prepared a lot of dowry for Song Yao.
20,000 yuan in cash and a set of furniture. Although it was not as expensive as Zuo Huo’s betrothal gift, it was still a token of appreciation from the old couple for their daughter.
Watching her daughter’s wedding car leave them, Gu Li wiped her tears and packed her things to eat.
When the wedding car arrived at Dahe Hotel, almost all the guests had arrived.
Gu Fang and Chen Huan squeezed into the crowd of guests. When she saw Song Yao slowly walking towards Zuo Huo in an expensive wedding dress, she was almost driven crazy!
Gu Fang was also furious. “It’s just a second marriage, and you’re still holding it so dignifiedly. Aren’t you afraid of being laughed at?!”
Chen Huan’s face darkened. She thought to herself that it would be great if the woman standing beside Zuo Huo was her.
But it didn’t matter. She had already prepared good wine. As long as she drank it, would she be afraid that he wouldn’t take responsibility?
At that moment, Song Yao was chatting with Guan Rong.
Although Guan Rong was not very satisfied with Song Yao’s status as a daughter-in-law, she was still her son’s favorite. Moreover, she felt that Song
Yao was not bad. Even if she was not the best candidate to be her daughter-in-law, she should give her face.
“Yao, this is my wedding gift to you.” After Guan Rong finished speaking, she handed an exquisitely wrapped gift box to Song Yao.
This gift had actually been prepared the moment Zuo Huo planned to bring Song Yao home. It was a pair of exquisite diamond earrings.
However, considering that it was her son’s wedding day today, it seemed a little stingy to only give her a pair of diamond earrings. Guan Rong also asked her colleague to go to France and bring a whole set of diamonds and jewelry for Song Yao as a wedding gift.
“We’ll be at ease after you get married and live a good life with Little Huo!” Guan Rong held Song Yao’s hand and chatted.
Zuo Jie looked around. ‘Why aren’t your parents here yet?”
Song Yao: “It might take a while.”
Zuo Jie sighed. “Let’s wait a little longer. By the way, I heard that your father also likes to drink tea?”
At the mention of drinking tea, Zuo Jie’s eyes lit up. He usually liked to drink old Pu’er tea, but unfortunately, none of his colleagues understood him.
Ever since he heard that Song Ping had the same hobby, Zuo Jie could not wait to see Song Ping!
Seeing that he had not come for a long time, Zuo Jie sighed on the spot. “Why isn’t the in-law here yet? Is the road in the town not easy to walk on?” Zuo Jie frowned. “Wang! Go to the town and fetch my in-laws!”
“Yes… Okay!” The young man called Wang replied and was about to get up to pick them up. Unexpectedly, as soon as he went out, he saw a middle-aged couple walking into the hall.
The woman was wearing the latest cheongsam. She smiled and asked Wang,
“Have you seen the bride?”
Wang looked at the two of them. “Who are you to the bride?”
Gu Li smiled. “I’m the mother of the bride.”
“So it’s you guys!” Wang smiled. At first, he thought that Song Yao’s parents were ordinary farmers facing the yellow soil. He did not expect them to look so good today!
“Please come in!” After Wang finished speaking, he immediately made an inviting gesture.
Gu Li pulled Song Ping into the banquet hall. As soon as they entered, they bumped into Song Yao by the window.
‘Yao! You’re here!” After Gu Li said that, she looked at the well-maintained middle-aged woman in front of Song Yao. “This must be your in-law, right?”
Guan Rong smiled. “You’re Song Yao’s mother?”
Gu Li smiled. “It’s me. Ah Yao keeps mentioning you to me!”
“Is that so?” Guan Rong pulled Gu Li’s hand and sat down. She couldn’t help but feel a little sad. “Then why did she mention me to you?”
Gu Li said, “She said that her future mother-in-law treats her very well and is very beautiful. I didn’t expect her to be like this today!”
“Really?” Guan Rong was a little embarrassed. She did not expect Song Yao to not only not badmouth her, but also say good things about her in front of her parents.
She held Gu Li’s hand and the two of them chatted for a long time.
On the other side, Song Ping and Zuo Jie were also chatting non-stop. The two of them chatted from Pu’er tea to the local news and then from the local news to the marriage of their children.
Even Song Yao and Zuo Huo only shook their heads when they saw this.
Especially Zuo Huo. At first, he was worried that the parents of both sides would fight.
Unexpectedly, when they met today, the two pairs of old men were chatting enthusiastically.. If not for the attendant who served the dishes reminding them, Gu Li and Guan Rong would have almost forgotten to serve tea!
